Amazon.com Product Description

The Siemens Gigaset S455 DECT 6.0 digital cordless phone system was developed with convenience and versatility in mind. DECT 6.0 technology provides interference-free communication, brilliant voice quality, and enhanced security. Ideal for large families or small to medium-size offices, the system comes with great features including a built-in 35-minute digital answering machine, and a 150-entry phonebook directory. The system can be expanded to include up to six handsets, ensuring everyone in the office has access to a phone or everyone in the house can talk to grandma when she calls home to swap stories about her Norwegian vacation.

The handset comes with a six-line, easy-to-read full-color 128x128 display. The screen relays useful information such as call history, current date and time, and last call length. With the robust display and the easy-to-use keypad, users can even send SMS text messages and send emails via SMS (both carrier dependent). To make texting easy, the handset comes with an easy text entry program--an ideal feature for heavy text users. For added convenience, the system supports up to three separate SMS inboxes (carrier dependent). The handsets come with five pre-loaded ringtones and a bright LED light to notify of incoming calls.

The system also features a room monitoring function so you can easily keep an ear on your children when they should be sound asleep. Additionally, thanks to the Gigaset S455's hands-free function, you can make a call when preparing a meal or type an email while on a conference call. Other great features include VoIP capabilities, and a robust 50-meter indoor (300 meters when outdoors) cordless range. Featuring multi-lingual menu prompts (in 19 languages), the handset features enough battery strength to support up to 13 hours of talk time and up to 168 hours of standby time.

3 out of 5 stars Nice but lacking some things.......2008-01-01

I work from home, and am on the phone with a headset between 1 and 6 hours each day. These are the shortcomings from my perspective:

1. Location of headset jack causes problems. The location of the jack is near the bottom of the phone, so that when you put the phone on the base, the headset is in the way. If the plug on the headset has any extra plastic around it, then the phone won't charge.

2. The headset jack is poorly designed. It is recessed into the phone a bit so that if your headset plug has any extra plastic around it then it won't fit into the jack correctly.

3. Feels cheap. The entire back comes off to give you access to the batteries, but the plastic feels cheap and I fear the tabs that hold the back on will break.

4. Delay when pushing buttons. There is a noticeable delay when dialing a phone number. I did not include this in my decision on whether to keep the phone, because it is a very minor issue.

5. Volume range is limited to low, medium, and high. I would have preferred to have more fine grained control over the volume.

6. Same old phone book. It is still limited to one number per name. I much prefer the cell phone style of multiple numbers per name. This does not make it worse than any other home phones I have tried, but I had hoped for more.

5 out of 5 stars Siemens System--State of the Art in DECT Cordless.......2007-12-31

Siemens ten-year track record of marketing these phone systems in Europe shows. The reception is clear. The design is clean and the phone is easy to use. The answer system works reliably. The directions for use and programming are straight forward. Definitely worth the price.

2 out of 5 stars Great phone, Big flaw!!!.......2007-12-20

This would be the perfect phone if you didn't have to deal with the horrible echo that can occur while talking on the handset.

I can't believe Siemens would release a phone with such an obvious problem.

3 out of 5 stars Siemens can do better.......2007-11-23

I had a Siemens 8825 (for a long time) when it first came out, and it was good until few months ago. I ordered this one S455 with few extra handsets as replacement. In some ways it's better than 8825 as it is much clearer and has clock on the handsets. However, it still does not have mute as many of other users mentioned, and somehow the max volume is much lower than what my 8825 can deliver on the speaker phone.

5 out of 5 stars The BMW of telephones.......2007-11-06

This phone, like the BMW I own, is elegant, practical, sophisticated and complex. Neither machine will appeal to those who just want something simple. The extremely well written 55 page instruction manual answers ALL of the concerns raised by other reviewers. But, it takes time, and some intelligence to sort it all out. So does the I Drive on my BMW.

The voice clarity is stunningly better than the 5.8 gig phones I have been using, and I live deep in rural Vermont, with legendarily horrendous phone service. The sophisticated intermeshing of handset and base controls gives me a new appreciation of German logic and engineering. And the range of choices for every other aspect of telephone use is, at least to me, dazzling.

If you are willing to work one half as hard as this phone, you'll be a very happy customer indeed.
